The client name is withheld due to confidentiality.
An industrial automation system that converts geometric data from a custom CAD application into automated robot motion, reducing manual programming requirements.
Engineered system
A custom conversion layer was built between the CAD environment and the KUKA robot. Geometric data becomes an automated toolpath and then executable KUKA KRL instructions, connecting physical manufacturing directly to a digital workflow.
Technical scope
What the system delivers
- Custom CAD application
- Geometric data processing
- Parametric manufacturing scenarios
- Automated toolpath generation
- KUKA KRL instruction generation
- CAD-to-robot conversion layer
- Robot-controlled surface processing
- Repeatable production operations
